Our 204L and 304L Compact Loaders combine serious performance with low clearance, so you can be more productive even when navigating low entryways and narrow openings. Choose an open canopy for quick and easy entrance/exit. Or opt for an air-conditioned/heated cab for year-round comfort and ability. Standard skid-steer-style quick-coupler and auxiliary hydraulics, plus numerous compatible John Deere attachments, further add to their do-it-all flexibility.

MAKE SHORT WORK OF YOUR NEXT TASK.

CAN DOGIVE IT YOUR ALL WITH THESE MASTER MULTITASKERS.

Boasting serious breakout forces and solid full-turn tipping-load capacities, the 204L and 304L get it done. And with a top speed of 12 mph, up to 3-foot 1-inch reach, and up to 8-foot 7-inch dump clearance, they’re an attractive alternative to skid steers for loading trucks or placing pallets on trailers.

Smooth operator

Elastic articulation at the pivot point smoothes the ride for greater load retention and reduced operator fatigue.

Stable platform

Low center of gravity and exceptional balance add up to impressive stability and full-turn tipping-load capacities. Precise parallel control over the entire lift range helps ease material handling.

Carry more, spill less

Limited-slip differential lock automatically delivers the power to the tire with the best traction for extra bucket-filling effort. Optional ride control also helps keep buckets full and forks loaded.

Excellent visibility

Tapered lift arms and single boom and bucket cylinders enhance visibility without sacrificing breakout force.

Generous FT4 power

Smooth-running EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4) diesels meet rigid emission standards and pack plenty of power and torque reserve.

STANDOUT FEATURE

STAR PERFORMERS THAT KEEP A LOW PROFILE

NEVER COME UP SHORT.

Whether you use them for shuttling seed, heaping hoppers, loading landscape materials, or whatever — these low-profile compacts navigate with ease through

low entryways and narrow openings. And because not every operation needs all the bells and whistles, you can equip yours with a no-frills, purpose-built open canopy.

Go low

Just up to 8 feet tall, our L-Series Compacts deliver lower clearance than many wheel loaders in their class — and are nearly a full foot lower than our 244K-II.

Comfortable four-season cabs

For year-round comfort, equip your machine with an optional heated and air-conditioned low-profile cab. Expansive curved tinted glass and narrow corner posts enable excellent visibility.

Lockable covers

Optional lockable monitor and switch covers provide after-hours security and vandal protection.

Touch and go

Boom, bucket, F-N-R, and now 3rd-function hydraulic controls are positioned on the same ergonomic low-effort lever, for convenient one-hand control. Fingertip control of the coupler, travel speed, park brake, lights, and other machine functions are also close and within easy reach.

Purpose-built canopies

ROPS-certified open-canopy models are perfect for applications requiring the operator to frequently get on and off the machine. Unlike the canopies on other loaders that are little more than cabs with the glass removed, ours are designed to withstand the elements — with weather-resistant gauges, extended rooftops, nonskid floor mats, and optional vandal proofing.8' HEIGHT

Skid-steer-style coupler

Push-button-actuated skid-steer-style coupler lets an operator attach and release attachments quickly from the seat. What’s more, the coupler doesn’t require special adapters that curtail bucket breakout or rollback.

Creep control

Optional creep control allows slow incremental travel speeds while maintaining full hydraulic flow. It’s ideal for hydraulic-driven attachments such as brooms.

Make a clean sweep

Pickup brooms let you sweep up dust and debris, and haul it away or deposit it in a dumpster.

Snow business

Blades, buckets, and pushers make these loaders naturals for removing whatever winter drops your way.

Grab and go

Brush, scrap, and utility grapples employ two hydraulic-actuated dual-action tongs for superior retention of a wide variety of materials.

Add these to your bucket list

For moving mulch, shuttling sand, or carving through clay, we’ve got the right bucket for the job. Capacities range from 1.0 to 2.1 cubic yards.

Farmhands

These loaders are right at home on the farm. Equip one with a bale spear, forks, or a bucket to handle a multitude of chores.

WORKING OUR CONNECTIONSHELPS YOU WORK YOURS

Looking to build your business? John Deere attachments are a great place to start. With more than 100 models, they’ll help you broaden your abilities, work smarter, and accomplish even more.

LOW OVERHEADIN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

Low-profile machines that keep costs down, too

With L-Series Loaders, low overhead also applies to maintenance. We provide extended service intervals for engine oil/filter, final drive oil, and hydraulic oil.

Simple to service

Easy-access vertical filters and environmental drains make fluid changes quick and clean. Convenient maintenance and lube chart helps confirm that nothing gets overlooked.

We’ve got your back

Should parts or service be required, they’re readily available at more than 1,400 John Deere dealer locations from coast to coast.

Quick, ground-level service

Lockable easy-open tilting hoods provide convenient, ground-level access to daily checkpoints, as well as periodic service items such as fluids and filters. Ground-level fuel fill and see-through coolant reservoir also help simplify daily maintenance.

Reliable cooling

Cooler cores are easily accessible for quick cleanout. Engine-mounted belt-driven cooling fan delivers efficient, reliable performance.

JDLink™ machine monitoring

Optional JDLink provides machine data and health alerts to help you decrease costly downtime.

This guide, representing bucket sizes not necessarily manufactured by

Deere, will help you in selecting proper bucket size for material density,

loader configuration, and operating conditions. Optimum bucket size is

determined after adding or subtracting all tipping load changes due to

optional equipment. The “conservative load” line on this guide is

recommended when operating in conditions such as soft ground and

unlevel surfaces. The “maximum load” condition on this guide is

sometimes utilized when operating on firm ground and level surfaces.

loader configuration, and operating conditions. Optimum bucket size is

determined after adding or subtracting all tipping load changes due to

optional equipment. The “conservative load” line on this guide is

recommended when operating in conditions such as soft ground and

unlevel surfaces. The “maximum load” condition on this guide is

sometimes utilized when operating on firm ground and level surfaces.
